Oh I forgot the 4 gooseberry bushes, black currents, pears, quinces, damsons, rhubarb and about 12 different herbs; my favourite at the moment is winter savoury.
Zoomer my house is a tiny 2.5 bedroom house and there are 5 of us to feed
My dinning room is packed as are all the thankfully deep windowsills.
artjack, I live almost at the end of the met line m25 commuter belt, neighbours are all what we refered to in the 80's 90's as yuppies or wannabe yuppies anyway, gardens are for huge patios, over priced chimneas and drinking wine in. I dont think half of them would know a white rose from a piece of clover in the lawn.
Oh well winning the lottery tonight and moving to Suffolk, but i say that every week.
Did i mention the red currents, pink current, black current and white current, goosegogs and the wineberrie.
art - I'm already healthy. I may be Scottish but I don't deep fry everything - I find the lettuce burns....

I often say that too (although not Suffolk!) but I'd need to start playing the lottery
I grow what I like to eat - mainly some salad crops, toms and strawberries, but I don't want a huge veg patch here as it would be a compromise too far. I simply don't have enough time either, but maybe once I eventually retire, and stop moving house....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
This year I'm mainly growing onions! I do have some raspberries in but they are letting me know they don't like where they are - too wet over the winter. For the last few years I have wanted to try growing some veg but it just didn't happen for various reasons. So this year I decided no matter what I would grow something, so onions it is . . . . and rescuing raspberries. At least its a start. I' m still in the process of digging new veg beds, so I'll be pleased if I manage to get them done ready for next year.
Planted so far, parsnips, onions, both autumn and spring planted. Potatoes, broccoli, little gem lettuce. Spinach beet, chard, beetroot, radish, spring onions, carrots, salad leaves. Garlic, turnips.
Still growing on in the greenhouse are cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, courgettes, sweet peppers, leeks, cauliflowers.
Have ordered swertcorn plants and dwarf french beans. Only one out of 12 of my french beans have come up which I setmyself.
Also have a fab patch of strawberries, raspberries both summer and autumn. Trees, apple, plum and pear which were only planted early on this year. I also have a blackcurrant and possibly something else I inherited, but not sure what it is.
Have also started to set various seeds for cut flowers.
